Barclays UK M&A team

Hey guys,

I found a few threads from a few years ago or a few months ago and just wanted an update with regards to the Barclays UK M&A team.

Do you have info on prestige, exit opps, overall culture, work hours,... that would be great.

bump on this.

Anyone have any insight into the UK Coverage team at Barclays?

Have seen with UK teams at other banks all they basically do is Takeover Code and legal/process work. Is it the same at Barclays or do the guys actually originate deals?

Also, what's modelling exposure like for the juniors (analyst/associate)?

You know you've been working too hard when you stop dreaming about bottles of champagne and hordes of naked women, and start dreaming about conditional formatting and circular references.
